If you are learning Spanish as an adult, the 2-minute rule can help to overcome the key challenges adults face when learning a second language. Learning new vocabulary and grammar are the most obvious challenges. But, it is the other challenges such as long-term motivation, memory and fear of making mistakes that tend to be bigger challenges than learning the words and the grammar that you need to hold a conversation in Spanish. In fact, there is one challenge that I've seen in every Spanish student that I have worked with and that is the fear of making mistakes. That said, while some students worry about making mistakes, others express other forms of negative self-judgement such as a lack of progress or worry that they aren't going to meet their goals.
